One of the central pieces, included in the executive summary, happens to be a key demand of Picture the Homeless's housing campaign: "We will perform a comprehensive survey of all vacant sites in the City."

This morning, homeless folks joined allies in the movement for police reform at New York City's Federal Courthouse, as well as state and city elected officials & advocates, calling on the Department of Justice to fully investigate and bring charges

Picture the Homeless was excited to join Council Members and allies in a massive rally on the steps of City Hall today, support the creation of a "Municipal ID" program that would help homeless people, undocumented immigrants, young people, and many other communities who have to deal with a whole lot of unnecessary stress and drama because they don't have a government-issued photo ID.

Picture the Homeless is hiring! If you or someone you know is (a) an excellent experienced community organizer and (b) unemployed or unhappily employed, please consider applying! We're especially eager for resumes from organizers with personal experience of homelessness...

Because Picture the Homeless did hard work on phone banking and email etc to elected officials, faith groups, grassroots allies, etc, and because of the press conference we did with the support of our various allies!
